When NBC Kids (a programming block by Sprout, a channel they already co-owned themselves, that replaced the Qubo block on NBC and Telemundo) was announced in 2012, Qubo has lost the rights to all of NBCUniversal's programming that June. In 2016, when Big Idea and Classic Media's parent company, DreamWorks Animation was purchased by NBC Universal, the network lost the rights to those shows as well. The only companies of the main collaboration that was still standing on Qubo's legs were Scholastic (Until 2015) and Nelvana.
